23. Technically the child to caregiver ratio is really awful..
you say that there are three very young children...hell you would need one person just for those three...and then another adult to assist with the household chores and the older kids.

I watched two very young children when I was 17 and it was exhausting. One active toddler and a baby...and I was responsible for household chores...

I really don't like the idea of driving the kids around either without additional liability insurance...but that's me...hell social workers take out special policies to drive kids around...

I would not do it for less than $15 an hour...not with 6 kids..

And while grandpa is helping out...how much?
